IN THAT CITY, LAMB IS LIGHT

There’s a country far beyond
the starry sky,
There’s a city where there
never comes a night;
If we’re faithful we shall go
there by and by
It’s the city where the Lamb
is the light.

CHORUS
In that city where the Lamb
is the light,
The city where there cometh
no night;
I’ve a mansion over there, and
when free from toil and care,
I am going where the Lamb
is the light.

Here we have our days of
sunshine, but we know
That the sun which shines
upon us now so bright
Will be changed to clouds and
rain until we go
To the city where the Lamb is
the light.

There the flowers bloom forever
and the day
Shall be one eternal day without
a night;
And our tears shall be forever
wiped away,
In that city where the Lamb
is the light.

Here we have our
disappointments all the while,
And our fondest hopes but
meet with bitter blight;
Though by night we weep,
the morning brings a smile,
In that city where the Lamb
is the light.

Then let sunlight fade,
let twilight bring its gloom,
Not a shadow can my blissful
soul affright;
For I know that up in heaven
there is room,
In that city where the Lamb
is the light.
